LIFE GROUP UPDATE
Hello Life Group Leaders!
Welcome to week 4 of our Spring Life Group Semester! How's it going? It is our hope and prayer that you are enjoying time in the Word, Prayer and Fellowship with one another. There aren't enough ways to say thank you for all that you do in support of this ministry and those who are involved.
As indicated at Essentials training, I have the privilege to connect with you to throughout the semester. I'll begin reaching out this week to ask how things are going and offer support. Look for an email to come from me early next week and please feel free to reach out to me anytime. I am looking forward to chatting with you!
Just a quick note that your group Covenants should now be signed by all of your group members. You might have had one or two missing this week so be sure to take them aside next week and let them sign too.
